Ripping out old carpet is one of those projects that sounds simple until you’re three rooms in, covered in dust, and wondering where to haul 800 square feet of padding and tack strips. Whether you’re flipping a waterfront property in Lakeway, remodeling a home in Rough Hollow, or a contractor working on a tight timeline, carpet removal in Lake Travis requires more than muscle—it requires the right equipment, a truck, and a plan for disposal.
That’s where K9 Junk Removal & Hauling comes in. We handle carpet removal from start to finish: tear-out, haul-off, and proper disposal. You don’t need to rent a dumpster, bag anything, or make multiple dump runs. We show up, do the work, and leave your space clean and ready for the next step.
Why Homeowners and Contractors in Lake Travis Call K9 for Carpet Removal
Lake Travis properties come with unique challenges. Many homes sit on hillsides or have limited driveway access. Waterfront homes in The Islands or Serene Hills often have multiple levels and narrow stairways. That worn-out carpet doesn’t just need to come up—it needs to get down three flights of stairs, into a truck, and hauled to the proper facility.
We’ve pulled carpet from lake houses that haven’t been updated since the ’90s, vacation rentals getting a refresh, and new construction where the builder-grade carpet didn’t last. Contractors call us when they need a tear-out done quickly so they can stay on schedule. Homeowners call us when they realize DIY carpet removal means dealing with staples, padding that crumbles into dust, and tack strips that gouge hardwood underneath.
We’re fully insured—both liability and workers’ comp—so if something goes wrong on the job, you’re covered. We work weekends and after-hours because we know remodels don’t always happen during business hours. And we don’t say no to anything: if the carpet’s glued down, if there’s furniture on top, if the house is occupied or vacant, we figure it out.
What’s Included in Our Carpet Removal Service
When we say carpet removal, we mean the whole job. Here’s what we handle:
- Full carpet tear-out from all rooms, hallways, closets, and stairs
- Padding removal, including stapled or glued underlayment
- Tack strip removal (optional, depending on what’s going down next)
- Transition strips and baseboards if needed for access
- Load and haul everything to the proper disposal facility
- Broom-clean sweep so the subfloor is ready for inspection or install
We don’t leave bags of carpet sitting in your driveway or expect you to coordinate a separate haul-off. Everything goes with us the same day.
If there’s furniture that needs to be moved, we can do that too. If you’re a contractor and the old flooring is asbestos or needs testing, we’ll work with your abatement team and handle removal once it’s cleared.
How the Carpet Removal Process Works
We keep it simple. Here’s how most jobs go:
- You call or submit details online. Tell us how many square feet, how many rooms, and whether there are stairs or obstacles. We’ll give you a clear estimate based on the scope.
- We schedule a time that works for you. Weekends, evenings, or mid-project—we adapt to your timeline.
- We show up with tools and a truck. You don’t need to prep anything unless you want furniture moved ahead of time.
- We tear out the carpet, padding, and tack strips. We work methodically to avoid damaging subfloors, especially if you’re installing hardwood or tile next.
- We load, haul, and dispose of everything. You’re left with a clean subfloor and no mess in the driveway.
Most residential jobs take a few hours. Larger homes or properties with multiple staircases might take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe upfront.
Lake Travis–Specific Considerations for Carpet Removal
Lake Travis properties have their quirks. Many homes are tucked into hillside lots with steep driveways or limited turnaround space. We’ve worked in neighborhoods like The Hollows, Rough Hollow, Serene Hills, and along Lakeway Boulevard where access can be tight. Our trucks are sized to handle residential streets, and we plan our approach based on your property layout.
If you’re in an HOA community, some neighborhoods have restrictions on dumpster placement or construction hours. We work around those rules and don’t leave debris sitting outside overnight.
For contractors working in Lake Travis, timing matters. We coordinate with your schedule so carpet removal doesn’t hold up the flooring install or the final walkthrough. If you’re managing a flip or a rental turnover, we move fast and stay out of the way of other trades.
Disposal is straightforward—we take carpet and padding to the appropriate facility. If there are any concerns about materials (older homes sometimes have unusual adhesives or underlayment), we’ll talk through it before we start.
Why We’re the Trusted Carpet Removal Choice in Lake Travis
K9 Junk Removal & Hauling is a family-owned business built from the ground up by Jean Guizzetti, a Venezuelan immigrant who started this company in 2021 with a truck and a willingness to work harder than anyone else. We’re not a franchise. We’re not trying to be the biggest. We’re trying to be the company people call back because we did the job right the first time.
We’re fully insured, which matters more than most people realize until something goes wrong. We carry both general liability and workers’ comp, so you’re protected whether we’re working in your home or on a job site.
We work weekends and after-hours because we know life doesn’t stop at 5 p.m. If you need carpet out before the flooring crew shows up Monday morning, we’ll make it happen.
We’re not the cheapest option in Lake Travis, and we don’t pretend to be. We’re the option that shows up on time, does the work correctly, and doesn’t leave you dealing with leftover mess or surprise fees.
If you’re tackling a remodel, prepping a property for sale, or just tired of looking at that old carpet, we’ll handle the removal so you can move forward.
